Jason Mraz Lyrics
Jason Mraz Lyrics
"Wordplay"
I've been all around the world
I've been a new sensation
But it doesn't really matter
In this generation
The sophomore slump is an uphill battle
And someone said that ain't my scene
'Cause they need a new song
Like a new religion
Music for the television
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the record label puts me on the shelf up in the
freezer
Got to find another way to live the life of leisure
So I drop my top
Mix and I mingle
Is everybody ready for the single and it goes...
[Chorus]
Ha La La La La
Now listen closer to the verse I lay
(Ha La La La La)
It's all about the wordplay
(Ha La La La Love)
The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the Mister A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
"Mr. Curiosity"
Hey Mr. Curiosity
Is it true what they've been saying about you
Well are you killing me
You took care of the cat already
And for those who think it's heavy
Is it the truth
Or is it only gossip
Call it mystery or anything
Oh just as long as you call me
I sent the message on did you get it when I left it
Said well this catastrophic event
It wasn't meant to mean no harm
But to think there's nothing wrong is a problem, oh
I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
(Trying not to ask why)
This love is a mystery
Mr. Curious...
Come back to me
I'm a mr. waiting on and never patient can't you see
That I'm the same the way you left me, left me
In a hurry to spell check me
And I'm underlined already in envy green
And pencil red
And I've forgotten what you've said
Will you stop working for the dead and return
A mr. curious well I need some inspiration
It's my birthday and I cannot find no cause for celebration
"Clockwatching"
Take off, both your, shoes and clothes, I'll follow.
Undo, corkscrew, drink from the top of a broken bottle.
Lately we're running out of time, aren't we?
Smoking, often, and calling out our guilty pleasures,
Let's keep, talking, anything to stop clockwatching.
Lately we're running out of time, aren't we?
Crazy for running all the time, m-m-m-m-maybe.
Let's forget we're running out of time.
I'm off like an airplane,
I'm licking your postage stamp again.
I'm using my right brain and I'm praying that we don't
crash.
Who knew I'd cum so fast.
Well so what if a two pump chump can't last.
But I made it to three, and I foreclose a five minute,
fantasy.
On a short-lived flight, making love on economy
No jumping, conclusions,
I don't think there's no solution,
Let's get, backwards,
And forget our restless destination.
Let's live in this moment just this time, could we?
Just take one moment of our time m-m-m-m-maybe.
Let's forget we running out of time.
I'm off like an airplane,
"Bella Luna"
Mystery the moon
A hole in the sky
A supernatural nightlight
So full but often wry
A pair of eyes a closing one
A chosen child of golden sun
A marble dog that chases cars to farthest reaches
of the beach
And far beyond into the swimming sea of stars
The cosmic fish they love to kiss
They're giving birth to constellations
No riffs and oh no reservation
If they should fall you'd get a wish or dedication
May I suggest you get the best
For nothing less than you and I
Let's take a chance as this romance is rising
Oh, before we lose the lighting
Oh Bella Bella please
Bella you beautiful luna
Oh Bella do what you do
You are an illuminating anchor of leagues to infinite
in number
For crashing waves and breaking thunder
Tiding the ebb and flows of hunger
You're dancing naked there for me you expose all
"Plane"
Drain the veins in my head
Clean out the reds in my eyes to get by
security lines
Dear x-ray machine
Pretend you don't know me so well
I wont tell if you lied
Cry, cause the droughts been brought up
Drinkin' cause you're lookin so good in your
starbucks cup
I complain for the company that I keep
The windows for sleeping rearrange
And I'm nobody
Well who's laughing now
I'm leaving your town again
And I'm over the ground that you've been
spinning
And I'm up in the air said baby hell yeah
Well honey I can see your house from here
If the plane goes down, damn
I'll remember where the love was found
If the plane goes down, damn
Damn, I should be so lucky
Even only 24 hours under your touch
You know I need you so much
I cannot wait to call you
And tell you that I landed somewhere
And hand you a square of the airport
And walk you through the maze of the map
"O. Lover"
What's the worst thing that could happen?
We could change our minds.
That seems to be the hottest topic at this time.
We are sitting around in the meditation, dragging,
chasing,
Wonderin?whose holdin?whose got the will to draw
the line.
I know you've got something burning up inside,
It's so unhealthy but so good for me, oh!
Said if I didn't know, and if I didn't know, well if I
didn't know that you loved me would you tell me?
Well God only knows our contradiction's to
quitting, is a hate to love relationship thing.
A fire under you is so fulfilling,
I fear there's nothing more.
I'm giving, giving you, the choke hold,
My flirting with disaster is mighty loved.
Ugggh you, you're so bold,
My wanting to kiss you still is not enough.
I'm getting over, all the comments.
I'm feeling statements made by people are
nonsense.
I'm getting stronger, by the minute.
And once I slip into position I'll swing you and turn
you all around.
You are the sweetest thing I've found since
whenever,
"Forecast"
Well I heard that it might be raining bed
sheets and lover's words
Let's throw out the hotel comforter and hang
the 'do not disturb'
Sign me up for the storm
I'll wear my suit for the shower
Cause I'll have you to keep me warm in the
coldest hour
And when the darkness falls under your hair,
there I'll be
And crazy is the forecast all week
Well every kiss, every hug is so light on that
touch, delicate like a snowflake
Well I can taste, I can taste, I can taste, I can
taste you all over my face
And everyone might find it foolish to not be
counting on the sun
But your mouth is my umbrella now
Because I'm holding your tongue
And when the darkness falls under your hair,
there I'll be
And crazy is the forecast all week
There's a good chance in hell
Like cats and dogs we'll be flying
And I'm no weatherman
But you are lightning, striking

"Song For A Friend"
Well you're magic he said
But don't let it all go to your head
Cuz I bet if you all had it all figured out
Then you'd never get out of bed
No doubt
Of all the thing's that I've read what he
wrote me
Is now sounding like the man I was hoping
To be
I Keep on keeping it real
Cause it keeps getting easier, he'll see
He's the reason that I'm laughing
Even if there's no one else
He said, you've got to love yourself
You say, you shouldn't mumble when you
speak
But keep your tongue up in your cheek
And if you stumble onto something better
remember that it's humble that you seek
You got all the skill you need,
Individuality
You got something
You call it gumption
You call it anything you want
Because when you play the fool now
You're only fooling everyone else
You're learning to love yourself
"Make It Mine"
"I'm Yours"
Wake up everyone
How can you sleep at a time like this
Unless the dreamer is the real you
Listen to your voice
The one that tells you to taste past the tip
of your tongue
Leap and the net will appear
"Lucky"
(feat. Colbie Caillat)
Do you hear me, I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue
ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm
trying
Boy, I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you, I promise you, I will
Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have
stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
"Butterfly"
I'm taking a moment just imaginin' that I'm
dancin' with you
I'm your pole and all you're wearing is your
shoes
You got soul, you know what to do to turn
me on until I write a song about you
And you have your own engaging style
And you've got the knack to vivify
And you make my slacks a little tight, you
may unfasten them if you like
That's if you crash and spend the night
But you don't fold, you don't fade
You've got everything you need, especially
me
Sister you've got it all
You make the call to make my day
In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk, sister you've got it
all
Curl your upper lip up and let me look
around
Ride your tongue along your bottom lip and
bite down
And bend your back and ask those hips if I
can touch
Because they're the perfect jumping off
point of getting closer to your
"Live High"
Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Taking it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously
"Coyotes"
Sipping coffee at a quarter to two
I wake up and I'm dallin and my minds running to
you
No wonder I'm a one woman man
She keeps my heart in a jar on the nightstand
I should tell her that she couldn't be more
Opposite then a foot in a door,
There's no one else I would rather go out with,
that's hell when I see them standing there
Me and my mouth we don't mean to be rushing
We talk about deep freely Cause we crushing
I want to shake both sides of the butt ya
Theoretically, yes, ain't we lucky?
And when the coyotes they sing at the park
It's when the city life starts falling for the sea
Winding roads are winding down and the flying
man'll hit the ground
Every motion is closer to touching
the coyotes sing when they call on your lovin.
Coming back for more,
You know I'm coming for you
You know we should be should be together
'cause once we rock, we won't wanna stop
Not today not tomorrow.
You better lock your doors
You know why, cause we want you
'cause we like you a lot
"Only Human"
A squirrel in the tree is he watching me
Does he give a damn?
Does he care who I am?
I'm just a man, is that all I am
Are my manners misinterpreted words or only
human?
I'm human
Murderous crow, hey what you know
What you reading about, what you hold in
your toes
Is that a twig, are you a dove of peace
A black dove undercover, with another puzzle
piece
Are you a riddle to solve all along?
Or am I over thinking thoughts of human
after all
Only human
Made of flesh, made of sand, made of human
The planet's talking about a revolution
The natural laws ain't got no constitution
They've got a right to live their own life
But we keep paving over paradise
'Cause we're only human
Yes we are, only human
If it's our only excuse do you think we'll keep
on being only human
Yes we are, yes we are
"Freedom Song"
I picture something is beautiful
It's full of life and it is all blue
I've seen the sunset on the beach, yeah
It makes me feel calm, when I'm calm
I feel good
When I feel good I sing
And the joy it brings makes me feel good
And when I feel good I sing
And the joy it brings
[Chorus:]
Come on along, I know you really want to feel
our song
We've got some life to bring
We've got some joy in this thing
Come on along, I know you really want to feel
our song
We've got some life to bring
We've got some joy in this thing
I see birds fly across the sky, yeah
And everyone's heart flies together
Food is frying and people smiling
Like there is no other way...
To feel good (good)
And when I feel good I sing (sing)
And the joy it brings makes me feel good (good)
And when I feel good I sing (sing)
"5/6"
Are you dancing with your partner, or are
you pushing them around?
Are you begging for attention, or do you
love the one youve found?
Are you giving up your Saturdays to waltz
all over town?
Or is every day a jolly holiday with
whomever you're with now?
You could give it all away, give it all and be
unstoppable
All away, everything is really possible, all
away
You never really own it anyway, Itll all fall
in place if you just let go
Dont dress up your children like dolls from
your past
Or Theyll run from you madly, they'll never
look back
And when they grow older, theyll do just
the same
The worlds a reflection of how children play
Well You could give it all away, give it all
and be unstoppable
All away, gonna make empty meaningful
You never really own it anyway, Itll all fall
in place if you just let go
"Frank D Fixer"
Frank D. Fixer was a handyman
He could handle anything; he was my granddad
He grew his own food and he could fix his own car
I watched it all happen in our backyard
He'd reinvent the part to fix the broken home
He'd restore the heart
Well I wish I was a fixer
I would fix you up inside
I would build you a town if the world fell down
I wish I was that guy
Well if Frank D. Fixer were alive today
Well he may laugh at me or he may have a lot to
say
Well he might ask that I keep working for the
family
To keep the bills all paid and be his protg
What happened to the ground right where we are?
What happened to the family farm?
Well I wish I was a fixer
I would fix you up inside
I would build you a town if the world fell down
I wish I was that guy
Every evening breaking bread
He showed us who a real man is
No matter what my grandma said
He would never lose his head
"Be Honest"
(feat. Inara George)
Ok go, go hang your heart on any tree,
You can make yourself available to
anybody,
Cause every livin' person knows you are a
prize,
Whichever way you go I'll be easy to find,
I don't ask for much, just be honest with me
I don't ask for much, be honest
Think of this song as a promise you can do
what you want,
If you decide you wanna move into a new
stage,
Deleting me from pages in your mission
statement,
My love is unconditional, make no mistake,
I don't ask for much, just be honest with
me,
I don't ask for much, just be honest with
me,
Who we are when love is what it wants to
be,
We are free, and we are having the best day
ever by far,
Being treated to the light like a superstar
I can hold space while you see what your
heart has to say about me,
"Love Someone"
Love is a funny thing
Whenever I give it, it comes back to me
And it's wonderful to be
Giving with my whole heart
As my heart receives
Your love
Oh, ain't it nice tonight we've got each other
And I am right beside you
More than just a partner or a lover
I'm your friend
When you love someone
Your heartbeat beats so loud
When you love someone
Your feet can't feel the ground
Shining stars all seem
To congregate around your face
When you love someone
It comes back to you
And love is a funny thing
It's making my blood flow with energy
And it's like an awakened dream
As what I've been wishing for, is happening
And it's right on time
Oh ain't it nice this life, we've got each other
And I am right beside you
"Long Drive"
Long drive, long night,
The best night of my life,
With you riding, your hand on my hand.
The thought of arriving kind of feels like dying.
I don't want to go home and be alone.
Could we stay out?
Could you drive a little slower? It don't matter where
we're going,
As long as I'm with you. We can take the long way.
Chevy Nova, front seat sofa, getting closer, to you.
Drive a little slower. It don't matter where we're going,
As long as I'm with you. We can take the long way.
Drive a little slower. I'm not ready to go home.
I'd rather stay with you.
We can take the long way out, to the country out of
town.
Let's get lost. I don't wanna be found.
Let's get away now, and be careful not to crash.
There's no defrost and we're steaming the glass.
You and the road have a generous shoulder
We can pull over and say we took the long way.
Headlights, strobe lights,
I can see you, but not quite.
I can feel you inside. The timing is just right.
For the moment, I don't want to go home.
Take the long way out.
Take the long way now.
Drive a little slower; don't matter where we're going to
go now.
Drive a little slower; don't matter where we're going to
"Everywhere"
If I wasn't
If I wasn't
If I wasn't
If I wasn't
you
"Best Friend"
Love is where this begins
Thank you for letting me in
I've never had to pretend
Youve always known who I am
And I know my life is better
Because youre a part of it
I know without you by my side
That I would be different
Thank you for all of your trust
Thank you for not giving up
Thank you for holding my hand
I've always known where you stand
Yes, I feel my life is better
So is the world were living in
Im thankful for the time I spent
With my best friend
(You're my best friend)
Thank you for calling me out
Thank you for waking me up
Thank you for breaking it down
Thank you for choosing us
Thank you for all youre about
Thank you for lifting me up
Thank you for keeping me grounded
And being here now
"Quiet"
I want to, I want to hold you
Every time I go home there's another
cellphone tower
Construction getting louder, paving over
yesterdays
You and I, we will try to find the side of it
that's pretty
While our town becomes a city, we won't let
it be erased
Empires rise, empires fall
Will you be my constant through it all?
I will hold your hand and watch the world
spin madly around this life we're in
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it's you
I'm with
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it's you
I'm with
You, you, you..
Every once in a while, you know I get these
real bad headaches
Worried about the mistakes that I've made
along the way
You and I, we can't hide from the fact that we
need each other
How else will I recover when the fever comes
again
"Out Of My Hands"
You went walking away, into the sun
How romantic, but I knew we were done
Was it something I said, something I did
It must be over my head, I didn't quite understand it
But now it's out of my hands, it's out of my hands
I'm sorry for the way you must feeling about
yourself, every day
Baby you needed me to make it, so you could keep
on running away
Was it something I said, something I did
It must be over my head, I didn't quite understand it
But now it's out of my hands, it's out of my hands
When it feels like life has gotten out of control
When it feels like there's much too much to hold
When it feels like too much to understand
No, that's out of your hands, out of your hands, out
of your hands
No, that's out of your hands, out of your hands, out
of your hands
Was it something I said, something I did
It must be over my head, I didn't quite understand it
Now it's out of my hands, it's out of my hands
When it feels like life has gotten out of control
When it feels like there's much too much to hold
"3 Things"
There are three things I do when my life falls apart
Number one I cry my eyes out and dry up my
heart
Not until I do this will my new life start
So thats the first thing that I do when my life falls
apart.
Oh, the second thing I do is I close both of my
eyes
And say my thank-yous to each and every
moment of my life.
I go where I know the love is and let it fill me up
inside
Gathering new strength from sorrow,
Im glad to be alive.
Things are looking up
I know above the clouds the sun is shining
Things are looking up
Love is still the answer I'm relying
On
Three little things
Things are looking up
The third thing that I do now when my world caves
in,
is I pause, I take a breath, and bow and I let that
chapter end.
I design my future bright not by where my life has
been.

"Shine"
Once upon a time there was a meeting of minds
The sun and the moon made a deal with the sky
One would take the morning and the other the night
Together they would blanket the world with light
But the moon had a shadow, he felt like a liar
The sun was the only one who carried the fire
The sun saw this, she kept on glowing
Bound to the moon, never saying, "you owe me"
She said I'll shine on you (shine on you)
I will shine on you (shine on you)
I will shine on you (shine on you)
I will shine on you
I keep a lamp over you, glowing in my heart
To keep from tripping over troublesome thoughts in the
dark
We ain't that different, we huddle underneath the same
stars
I see who you really are
You're every creature, every man, every woman and child
You're the closest thing I'll ever get to knowing God
Like the sun to the moon, I'll send my love and light
A love like ours, it'll fill the whole sky
